Tomorrow i'm taking G to the airport (BWI) where she'll head for a long weekend in Denver, visiting the sons and the grandkids. while at the airport i'm also picking up my fifteen year old nephew who's coming in from San Antonio to spend a week here with first just me, then both of us.
so, for the next week i'll be seeing teenage movies, puttputt golfing, kayaking, fishing, going to the beach, and who knows what else, with The Kid. i'll try to get a journal entry in from time to time, but don't expect any significant efforts. if i can manage to keep my brain working i'll be happy. this is a guy who never wants to stop, he can keep going endlessly. he and his mother, my sister, need a break from each other (she's a single mom, he was adopted as a special needs kid at the age of almost 7) for a while, and G and i have loved this kid from the moment we first saw him. we were instrumental in his adoption (my sister was seriously ill at the time the home placement was happening, so we spent much of that winter in San Antonio, making a home for him) and feel a real connection. he has a lot of "issues," as you can imagine - and being fifteen is hard enough all by itself. so, wish us all a peaceful visit - and some real fun.
i don't think i can stand being away from J-land for the whole week, so i hope to be checking in on journal assignments, and stuff in general.
